Golan Calls for Netanyahu to Be Kept Off Social Media After Nuclear-Blast Image

Democrats leader Yair Golan called on Sunday for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be kept away from social media after the premier shared a nuclear-blast illustration. Golan described the image as an atomic bomb over Tel Aviv and accused Netanyahu and his circle of losing judgment. Linking his criticism to Tuesday’s election, Golan said his camp would replace those spreading panic and restore security and sanity. Netanyahu’s earlier post shared a text attributed to Yuval Blumberg warning that an Iranian nuclear weapon would threaten Israel’s existence and arguing that confronting that danger should take precedence over other political disputes.
